Implement your own HTML or XAML context menu on a right mouse click. Updated for Silverlight 2, includes support for IE and Firefox. The right click code has been updated to be compatible with Silverlight 2. Along with SL2 support IE and Firefox support is included. You can implement the right click on your whole canvas or only selected portions. I'm looking into adding this support to the library of controls released by Microsoft. You can view a demo and download the source here: http://www.realtimesilverlight.com/RTLRightClickFix/RTLRightClickFix.aspx Feel free to email me with any feedback: Ken@RTLogicSystems.Com

Dear!<br>In firefox, we can use this way to handle the right click event but we can't handle the mouse left button event. :(

Right, if you want to do that you'll have to follow the same model he used to get the right-click working. Since the right-click requires the DIV overlay (in FireFox at least), Silverlight cannot receive the mouse events. You'll notice that left-click works when you bring the context-menu up because the DIV is hidden when a right-click occurs. You need to funnel the onmousedown, onmouseup, onmousemove through JavaScript to Silverlight and perform hit tests just as with the right-click to get this to work. Surprisingly the performance is still great! Here's an example. It has right click, left click, left double-click, and mouse over events.<br><br>http://www.zleek.com/ZleekPage.aspx?PID=1<br><br>Ken, I used your code as a starting point for this, thanks!
